Sweetheart, I did not intend to mislead you, however I meant the viruses. NOT the vaccines. I do not think that has EVER been shown! Viruses we all know mutate at a drop of a hat...

When one chooses to NOT vaccinate, AND catch the illness there is a very high probability that it will mutate into a form that cannot be vaccinated against.

HIV is definitely like that... HSV can possibly do that... Some of the HPV strains are thought to do that although the data is sketchy. Measles hasn't been shown to do that, but it has never been tested. Influenza is known to mutate rapidly like wildfire. Malaria is thought to do that, that is why it is tough to treat. Tuberculosis--although a bacterium is thought to do that. And chicken pox, maybe small pox and especially monkey pox can mutate, but not as fast as others.

Now, I dunno about immunity being poor in the children at the time of vax... But immunity is mandated by the mother's milk and if it is nutrient poor, which it usually is, there are issues of have an appropriate immune reaction...
